Metaphorical Wall News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

Neither side is talking. in fact, the only comments today, a slew of presidential tweets. several directed at democrats. also a twitter tirade directed as a recently departed chief of staff. and on sunday there was an interview printed with kelley who gave an unflattering portrait of the president. at one point he suggested trump is as devoted to the concrete wall. kelly said we left a solid concrete wall early on in the administration. when we asked people what they needed and where they needed it. obviously this is a potentially damaging insider's take during fraught shutdown negotiations. t...

Like to begin with you. trump's answer on a concrete wall simply is not consistent. we saw just two weeks ago he spoke of steel slats and said we're not building a concrete wall. today he says an all concrete wall was never abandoned. which is it? what exactly is the president asking for? >> well, i'm definitely not the trump whisperer. what i imagine is that the president is caught between a rock and a hard place. he was offered $1.3 billion in the senate bill that passed. he has another 1.3 billion he got last year that he hasn't spent. he really already has $2.6 billion for border security ...

Work, i'd like to turn to alaina. you heard senator graham said the wall is effectively just a metaphor. is that what the president's base believes? will trump supporters settle for a so-called metaphorical wall? >> i think they expect a wall. that's what they've been promised in the rallies for years. i also think as much as it's become a metaphor as lindsey graham would hope, for president trump about border security. i think for democrats it's a metaphor for just trumpism. i think they've overestimated how much democrats might be willing to negotiate, especially now that democrats are takin...

Here's a typo. i think he means 2013, not 3013. one more yes but with me in office, i'll get it built. and fast. we also have this idea of solving this entire dispute. you hear lindsey graham saying you don't need to call it a wall, just get it done. have a listen. >> the wall has become a metaphor for border security. what we're talking about is a physical barrier where it makes sense. >> so that's one possible solution. just figure out a way to all agree on the terminology and go ahead and build it. the president doing all his negotiation this morning via twitter. >> the question is who will...
